Read the law on school districts in ‘financial recovery’ status

The news this week was that the state preliminarily declared York City School District in financial recovery, and the district is contesting that.

The state adopted a law over the summer allowing the secretary to make such a designation, which would lead to a chief recovery officer being appointed to implement a plan to handle the district’s finances.

Below is a copy of the state school code. Editor Scott Blanchard and I have made some notes in the appropriate sections, so you can see the parts that the state says apply to York City and get some context.
